On Female Chess Computers

[Steve B]

Long before the birth of Rybka ..female dedicated computers have made their appearance

the First such computer was the Mephisto Polgar named after the then young Judit Polgar
she was released initially at 5 Mhz in 1989 and rated 1968 Elo
Our own Ed Schröder programmed her
when she grew a bit older a 10 Mhz version was also released and this clocked in at 2045 Elo..

more recently.. Alexandra Kosteniuk(Women's World Vice Champion) has made an appearance in the Excalibur ..Alexandra The Great ..computer
complete with a deep sexy Russian voice she clocks in at 1600 Elo

Alexandra:



Women are Computers too Regards

What a coincidence. yesterday friday I slaughtered Alxandra the Great in a Ruy Lopez. But she said "Oh God" several times...

Looking for another sessions with her regards

I wouldn't mind being mated by Alexandra, and would be the first time that I enjoyed being mated by the computer.

I had two 5mhz Polgar module sets, just last week I traded one set
plus a cash adjustment for my RISC2500.
I remember about a year ago I told Ed Shroder on the other forum
about seeing his name on the Polgar module startup display. He said
he was surprised those things still worked. I'm surprised at the price
they bring, one Polgar set in an exclusive board on ebay at the
moment:

all the best
